DO

+ ALWAYS
  • Overlay the visuals with transparency over additional content / camera feeds.

  • Always keep the original aspect ratio — fit, never stretch or crop to fill.

  • Match the LED screen colour with the club lighting at all times.

DON'T

— NEVER
  • Run more than one hue besides white on the LED screens at a time.

  • Change the aspect ratio — no stretching, squashing or distorting the loops.

  • Let the screen colour clash with or fight the room lighting.

LIGHTING OPERATOR

LX BRIEF
/ 01

ONE COLOUR + WHITE

Never more than a single colour plus white on at a time. Keep the rig disciplined — one hue per moment, matched to the LED content.

/ 02

WORK THE CONTRAST

Push the dynamic range hard. Low-energy parts: slow and dark. High-energy parts: fast and bright. The gap between the two is the show.
